They worked hard today and even started to build the arch of Kusakabe-san’s kiln.

In the afternoon, the damper was in the chimney and the walls were already well above the grates of the fire box.

They had put a tarp over it in the evening and I couldn’t see the kiln, but you can see quite a difference in hight from this morning and now.

Getting higher and higher with the walls.

In the afternoon, they had progressed so much that they were able to put on the constructed wooden arch. On this they will built the stone arch.

It was completely dark when I came back. They had started already with the arch. Look how high the chimney is already.
